• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The term ''falling'' is a cultural term, but to love someone else, the way Jesus loves us...that is true love. This is why we don't see it much in romantic relationships and marriages, because it's hard to find, and hard to do, actually.


I always wondered if I had a brother out there somewhere.

Your comment about ''love hurts when the relationship is over,'' is sticking with me. Yea. It is hard to avoid pain it seems when love comes into the picture. :/ Serial dating is an easier way out, but...love is what we were created for, if we are Christians, we believe this, no?

My long lost twin.

Not sure anyone can guarantee that a marriage will last forever, even with the best of intentions, even with believing in God. Someone cheats on you, and ...boom! It's over. At least, that would be a dealbreaker for me. So, you can't control another person. But, I'd like to believe that if God is included in the decision making process BEFORE marrying the person, then 'til death do us part' might not be such a far fetched idea.

I don't know how hard to find or do. I'm thinking it is hard to be willing.
